What Does "Toning" Really Mean?

"All of us want to "tone" our muscles to achieve a cut, fit look. But what exactly is "toning"? Let me clarify a little: The word "toning" has nothing to do with the size of a particular muscle; it refers rather to making a muscle lean by burning intramuscular fat, and conditioning the muscle for better performance.

You can't actually build muscle mass unless you're eating more calories than you're burning, but you can tone a muscle to make it leaner."

i snagged this information from part of an article posted: http://www.jillianmichaels.com/ you know, jillian michaels, one of the trainers on the biggest loser... she has an online training program too, and provides great info. I went to her site and receive the free emails... Go check it out... if you sign up for her training program instead of mine, i'm cool with that! In fact, I'd love it if you tell me how it goes for you! Thanks. :)
